Designed by renowned Swedish naval architect Lars Olof Norlin and built by Allegro Båt Ab beginning in 1966, this 30-footer represents classic Scandinavian cruising design philosophy. The long keel configuration with its substantial 4,409-pound ballast provides excellent tracking and seakindly motion in rough conditions, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and moderate offshore passages. With a displacement of 8,708 pounds and generous beam of 10.33 feet, the Allegro 30 offers stable sailing characteristics and comfortable interior volume. The masthead sloop rig is straightforward to handle and provides good sailing performance across varying wind conditions. The boat's comfort ratio of 21.3 indicates a motion that favors comfort over speed, while the capsize screening formula of 2.01 suggests reasonable stability for its intended cruising role. The fiberglass construction has proven durable over the decades, and many examples remain actively sailed today. Hull speed calculations show the boat capable of 7.01 knots, respectable for a cruising design of this era. The long keel design trades some maneuverability for directional stability and protection of the propeller and rudder, characteristics that serious cruising sailors often appreciate for their practical benefits during extended voyages.
